Benrubi Gallery

This gallery specializing in photography is a bit hidden on the second floor in a building full of other galleries, and worth a look-​see.
Bed side Manner was the show on display during my visit with photographs of actors at a medical school, who act as patience where the medical students have to diagnose and demonstrate sufficient bed side Manner.
A 20 minute video of the experience rounded out the experience. Benrubi’s cachet of artists is very good as the gallery manager gave me a behind the scenes tour of some of the holdings.
If you’re into photography and have 30k to drop, put this gallery on your list.

This was my favorite gallery in Midtown East, and now that they’ve moved and upgraded to a new location in Chelsea under the High Line, it is now my favorite gallery that has ever existed ever. I do not say this lightly, as many galleries are staffed with ridiculous, pretentious employees who treat me like I’m an alien life form if I ask anything at all, even if it’s just directions to the nearest restroom. The staff here are always helpful, approachable and knowledgable about the art they show, particularly gallery directors Rachel and Becky, and it is evident that they maintain intimate relationships with their impressive roster of superstar photographers, many of whom have been with the gallery since it started. The new space is enormous, well-​lit and truly a showcase for anyone lucky enough to have a show on its walls. Bravo. Some personal favorites to see works of here include Richard Renaldi and Matthew Pillsbury. Run, don’t walk.
